her lies are prophylactic
to protect her devoted catholic
mother from the fertile truth
her daughter has tasted
my forbidden fruit
I’ve seen her naked and panting
I’m tired of hiding and being hidden
she kept me in the closet
now she’s done I’m the skeleton
she need never admit we did it
in secret as if I never existed
it sucks to be so temporary
and so easy to forget
I’ve been erased even replaced
I’m tired of hiding and being hidden
